Shepherd Pie for Pi Day and St Patrick

It's been raining all week and I was craving a little comfort food. Shepherd's Pie did the trick. A simple recipe passed down through our family.
Ground beef, seasoned and mixed with tomato soup on the bottom, topped with frozen green beans and peas and capped off with mashed potatoes and melted cheese. Bake for 20-40 min at 350 until bubbly.

Pretty in Pink

I had the pleasure of making cupcakes for an it's a girl shower this past weekend. I used the Strawberry Rose cake recipe from Apron of Grace blog. They turned out great. I also filled them with vanilla pastry cream for a strawberries and cream effect. I used the Martha Stewart pastry cream recipe. Yum!

You must try this Chicken White Bean Chili recipe. Flavorful and delicious.
I added a couple tablespoons of cornmeal right at the end to thicken. A trick I learned from Pioneer Woman's Tortilla Chicken Soup. Also excellent.
